Morning, 10:00 a.m.

  Kang Miun’s Coffee Stall

  The coffee stall was located right next to the Kembang Setaman Discotheque building.

  Tikno, wearing the Kembang Setaman security uniform, was seen sitting and enjoying a cup of coffee brewed by Kang Miun.

  His eyes were focused on a book.

  On closer look, it turned out Tikno was busy thinking while filling out a crossword puzzle.

  Tikno muttered.

  Tikno: "Doll, in English, four letters?"

  Miun, who was preparing instant noodles for a hungry customer, replied.

  Miun: "Doll, Tikno. The letter L is doubled."

  Tikno immediately filled it in.

  Tikno: "Ha-ha. You’re pretty smart in English too, Kang Miun."

  Miun chuckled.

  Miun: "Well, I did graduate from a vocational high school, you know."

  Tikno chuckled.

  Tikno: "Pen, in English, three letters?"

  Miun: "Pen, Tikno."

  Tikno was delighted.

  Tikno: "Perfect. I’ve finished filling one whole crossword sheet."

  Miun handed the bowl of noodles to a customer.

  Miun: "You usually go to the internet café to read Nagini. Why are you doing a crossword now?"

  Tikno: "I’m waiting."

  Miun: "Waiting?"

  Tikno: "I keep going back to the internet café. Nagini is still at Chapter 41."

  Miun: "So?"

  Tikno: "I wait while doing the crossword."

  Miun: "Oh…"

  Tikno sipped his coffee.

  Tikno: "It’s already te, Kang Miun. I have to go back to work at Kembang Setaman. Otherwise Pak Karto and Pak Turiman will be looking for me."

  Miun: "Got it."

  Tikno: "Coffee and two fritters—how much?"

  Miun: "I saw you take four fritters earlier."

  Tikno burst out ughing.

  Tikno: "Your eyes are sharp too, Kang Miun."

  Miun grinned like a horse.
